Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?

Tell me you don’t hang out with anarchists without telling me…

There's only one axis on the political spectrum, and everyone left of Biden (a rightwinger) is a tankie, isn't this obvious?

no, everyone right of "I won't vote at all in 2024 because I refuse to vote for Biden" is a conservative

didn't you get the memo

don't anarchists call themselves libertarians?

No, they call themselves Libertaire. Libertaire was adopted by french anarchists at the end of the 19th century when anarchist publications were banned from France. Sadly, as Americans do, the word was misused and transformed by Milton Friedman, on the behalf of oil companies, and later that failed actor named Ayn Rand, to described unabashed, unregulated, capitalism and corporatism.

No anarchist worth it's salt would ever use the word libertarian instead of Libertaire.

Brian: Excuse me. Are you the Judean People's Front?

Reg: F*** off! We're the People's Front of Judea

Yeah I don't think you know anything about anarchism as political theory if you think it has anything to do with corporatism and capitalism. I'd suggest you pickup some theory and brush up on working class history.

What American political education does to a MF...
